"Unusual, hearty, even meaty aroma in dry leaf. Infusion reminds me of an East Frisian Assam/Indonesian blend formerly purchased elsewhere but no longer available - therefore happy to have the substitute!"Sallie H

"This is a great value black tea. Because of the small cut of the leaves, when I brewed it for 4 min (4t in a 1L teapot), it was very strong (flavor and caffination-wise). Using not-so-heaping teaspoons and a 3 min brew helped quite a bit. This has a very distinct and different flavor than other black teas - the aroma of the dried leaves is, I would say, blackberry/dark & rich. An interesting black"Ron Magen - Backyard Boatshop

"The crisp, dry leaves have a lovely dried apricot aroma. This changes to a cloverlike aroma in wet leaves and brew. Compared to its parent Assam, the tea is somewhat mild."KublaKhan

"This is a very good tea for the money. I alternate between this and the CTC Fine Assam as my morning cup. Though this tea is also very good in the afternoon. I just bought a 250mg packet and when I use that I up I plan to buy a kilo of it."pen

"I used to think the Nilgiri BOP was my favorite, but this Java BOP has overtaken it in my estimation. Nice liquor, clean, strong cup with no aftertaste. A good cup of tea anytime of day. I always make sure I have some on hand."Brian Zoebisch

"An unusual taste for those used to Assams. Reminiscent of some South African CTC's. Fairly strong with a hint of tannin, but also "earthy" undertones that may not appeal to all drinkers."Bruce B

"Had to lower my review of this one. TB15 used to be a BOP now is closer to fannings and performs as such. Flavor, aroma etc. much degraded. It's a shame. This used to be my 'go to' everyday tea."agp
